pitchers..?

May 14, 2007 by Wreckn 'crew | Posted in Fantasy Sports

out of these hallucination pitchers which guy would you rather have & why. iv'e asked this ? before and i was wondering if i should drop someone for them? plz & thanks wants some answers

Jered Weaver
Ervin Santana=not doing soo godlike
Ching Ming Wang
Freddy Garcia
Jose Contreas
Aj Burnett
Joe Blanton=sleeper he's pre well-founded
Cliff Lee
Scott Olson
Kelvin Escobar
or Doug Davis

Kelvim escobar is undoubtedly the best and most underrated pitcher on that index. He would be one of the higher ranked pitchers overall for the last few seasons if his cooperate got him some more wins. His ERA has always been good for the last 3 seasons. He strikes people out and his Exhibit is good.

This season so far he has 4 wins, a 2.21 ERA, 31 K's, and a Present of 1.08 (which is almost unreal for a starting pitcher.)

Escobar is to be sure worth dropping someone for. Drop someone off of your bench or another starting pitcher you have that may be struggling.

Pitchers...?

Aug 17, 2007 by Ginz | Posted in Baseball

Detail...What exactly makes a pitch a "switch-up"
what kind of movement?
And /or velocity...
And /or signal...Etc.?.....Thanks!

well there are two ways of holding a transmute up, what is known as a circle change up and a three lay change up
the three finger change up is easier to learn, and easier to find, but has less movement than a circle change up
a disk change up is a tricky pitch to learn, but can be the most real pitch in baseball.

the velocity of a safe change up can be anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour slower than a fastball

the displacement on a circle change up typically drops and moves toward a make up for handed hitter, if this is a righty pitcher

also, depending on how severe you grip the ball and how far back the ball is in your cuffs will change the movement a little and velocity (something to try out and on around with)

the change up can be a devastating pitch

Pitchers - What They Don't Like

Yankees not worried about Japanese pitching imports despite past failures

01.01.70

MILWAUKEE — Taken as a whole, the Yankees ’ track record of signing Japanese pitchers serves as a cautionary tale about the risks that come with importing talent. From Hideki Irabu to Kei Igawa, the Yankees have spent millions for production that has ranged from middling to miniscule.

“We’ve had some failures,” general manager Brian Cashman said at the general managers’ meetings.

Yet, with pitching at the forefront of the Yankees’ offseason plans, and a free-agent pitching pool that lacks a true ace, the Yankees could be drawn by Japanese ace Yu Darvish. If that’s the case, managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said his franchise will not be influenced by its spotty record with Japanese pitchers.

“No, it will not,” Steinbrenner said. “Every person is different. Every player is different. We’re going to look at every single one. We’re going to look at every single option, and we’re going to analyze it. It will be a go or no-go, but we look at each person as an individual.”

Thanksgiving with the Pitchers

01.01.70

Every year on the fourth Thursday of the month, I run into the same chaotic routine.

It begins when my brother, Grant, and I reluctantly emerge from our rooms, cautiously walk down the stairs, and peer around the corner, in hopes that this year might be different. But year after year, the same scene plays on.

People are packed like sardines in close quarters, pushing and shoving with elbows flying in every direction as the sounds of metal clanking and glass shattering excites the already agitated crowd. Too afraid to get caught up in the chaos, I quickly turn back around the corner, hurry back up the stairs, and go as far away as humanly possible. Even from the comfort of my third floor bedroom, I can still hear the roars and rackets from down below.

Is this the fight between the Bears and Lions that emptied both sidelines in a game two weeks prior? Or a reenactment of a Revolutionary War battle with swords and man-to-man combat? Or is it the electronics section at Wal-Mart at 4 a.m. on the infamous Black Friday?

Yankees hitters against strikeout pitchers | River Avenue Blues

by Joseph Pawlikowski

Last week we looked at the Yankees hitters against the worst lees ball pitchers and against the best fly ball pitchers . We saw that the Yankees often demolished found ball pitchers, while they had more of a opposing bag against the fly ball pattern. Today we’ll move onto altered consciousness strikeout pitchers. Again, the intimation is to scheme their performances against pitchers of all contrastive types at the end. Some guys, after all, dispute into multiple classifications. As we’ll anon see, Justin Verlander is both a strikeout and fly ball pitcher.

As with the territory ball and fly ball pitchers, we run into a few issues with strikeout pitchers. First, the pitcher with the third highest K have a claim to, Zack Greinke, never faced the Yankees. Bruised, two of the top 10 coordinated for the Yankees. For this survey I’ll listing qualifying AL starters with a greater than 7.00 K/9 sort. The last pitcher on the file is John Lackey; the next highest K reprimand belongs to Andy Pettitte .

This catalogue raisonn is precarious, because everyone but Floyd appeared on either the fly ball or the clay ball one. Once I saw that there were four guys on the fly ball index and seven from the turf ball index, dialect mayhap we’d see a shift come into view. Lamentably, this doesn’t come out to be the come what may. Even when we average it all out, the Yankees scored almost methodically the same runs per nine innings against strikeout pitchers as they did fly ball pitchers.

One face I illustrious in the quondam post was the conspire’s retreat run clip. Against range ball pitchers they hit 1.63 qualified in runs per nine innings, and against fly ball pitchers that gang dropped to 1.36. They hit 1.38 placid runs per nine innings against strikeout pitchers. It appears Beckett skews the numbers against sod ballers and strikeout pitchers a bit higher, since he gave up an immoderate amount of placid runs against the line-up. Then again, against Felix, Gloyd, Baker, and Lackey they hit no dwelling runs over 26.2 innings, so perhaps that helps control the digit.
